Russian Spread -Engleism.

When We talk OF spread eagleism'
We are generally thinking OF the Unit
ed States, but the real spread-eagle
ism is that not of the American repub.
lie but OF the Russian empire. The
Russians hahituaHy talk of the time
when they will be masters Of the whole
world, and if--instead of writing OF the
facts Of our time-I were tempted to
prophesy concerning the next century
l should have to admit that, if we ex-
clude America and Australia and con-
fine our thoughts to the old world
alone, it is as least conceivable that
their dreams should one day come
true. The only foreigner who is known
to the Russian peasantry is the Ger
man, and the name for German and
for foreigner with the peasant is the
same, and the hatred OF the "dumb
men," as they call their German neigh.
bors, is intense. Thepeasantry know
little Of the English, and if you listen
to their sentiments you discover that
it is their belief that one day there
will be between them and Germany
a war compared with which, their sol
diers say, that Of 1870 was child's
play, and that if Germany wins this
will not be the end, but war after war
will follow until Germany is destroyed.
This feeling is to some extent held in
check by the Russian court, although
one day they may take it up and use
it; but court dislikes are turned for
the present less toward Germany than
toward Austria. The Fortnightly Re.

rest OF the mass is ordinarily supposed
to be instantaneous, but it is not

Remote Acquaintance

Goldsmith wrote Of a certain pre-
tentious woman,-
1.-THE King himself has followed her,
When she has walked before
The following incident reminds one oil
the woman. A lady intimated thatshe
was personally acquainted with the
poet, Henry W. Longfellow.
"When did you meet him?" asked a
friend.
"Oh,-I-I," was thesomewhat con,
fused reply, "I-that is, / didn't ex-
actly meet him myself, but ] walked
out Of church one day with woman
who had met him, and she told me all
about him."
Her degree Of acquaintanceship was
about equal to that of a woman Mo
felt that size ''really knew the Queen. !"
A foreign minister was once per-
suaded, against his better Judgment,
to introduce a countrywoman at the
Court OF one OF the continental ma
tions. 1t is not a part OF an Ameri-
can minister duty to act as social
sponsor for ambitious nobodies, Or to
introduce at court people who do not
know how to behave when they
get there. But the Queen received the
woman kindly, and the matter prom.
ised to end well, when imagine the
minister's horror on hearing, in reply
to the Queens courteous greeting, the
woman say, Il really feel as if I had
known you a long time. You know
wego to the same chiropodist!''
